Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah - how are they averted? 69 Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our messengers: but soon shall they know,- 70 When iron collars will be rounded over their necks, and the chains, they shall be dragged along. 71 into boiling water, then, into the Fire they shall be poured. 72 It will then be said to them, “Where are the partners you used to appoint?” – 73 They will say, "They have been lost to us; nay, we did not invoke anything before [that had real existence]." Thus God leaves the deniers of the truth to stray; 74 That is because ye had been exulting in the earth without right, and because ye had been strutting. 75 Enter ye the gates of Hell as abiders therein. Hapless is the abode of the stiff-necked. 76 Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is true. And whether we let thee see a part of that which We promise them, or (whether) We cause thee to die, still unto Us they will be brought back. 77 We have told you the stories of some of Our Messengers whom We had sent before you and We have not told you the stories of some others. A Messenger is not supposed to show a miracle without the permission of God. When God's decree of punishment comes to pass, He will judge truthfully and the supporters of the falsehood will perish when God's decree of punishemnt comes to pass. 78
